Another good investing book with a cringe-worthy name (I'm looking at you "Get Rich With Options"). The system is basically momentum investing using fundamental analysis for stock selection combined with technical analysis for timing. The technical analysis portion seems like it's trying to give you a shortcut to using Wyckoffian analysis by focusing entirely on the cup-with-handle pattern. Easy to read, lots of charts, but parts read like an advertisement for Investors Business Daily.

The book is very concise and clear. The chapters are structured and present ideas in small chunks.

Only negative side is that the book is also used to advertise the investing website, which might feel a little bit too pushy sometimes.

Comprehensive overview of investing. Good for novice and seasoned investors. Gives great historical perspective of the market and big market moves. Helps with chart reading, stock evaluation, and guidance on investing to make a profit. Recommended!!

Cuốn sách được ngợi khen khá nhiều dành cho các bạn mới học đầu tư chứng khoán nên mình đã mua đọc. Giới thiệu chung về phương pháp đầu tư CANSLIM và một số quy tắc khi giao dịch để tránh bị lỗ, thời điểm chốt lãi và cắt lỗ. Phần đọc đồ thị được hướng dẫn khá chi tiết và nhieuf mẫu biểu đồ mẫu thực tế để tham khảo và học cách đọc. Nhưng tới khoảng 1/4 những chương cuối sách mình đa số là giới thiệu và quảng cáo về nhật báo IBD do tác giả sáng lập nên mà cái này lại không áp dụng được cho cơ sở chứng khoán của Việt Nam.

Chiếc sách mày hoàn thành trong thời gian lâu nhất cho tới nay, có quá nhiều highlight cần đọc lại nhiều lần.
> Phải dành tâm sức nhiều hơn nữa để đạt được mục tiêu tự do tài chính nhưng trước mắt mày đã có kinh nghiệm phần nào cho việc đầu tư trong tương lai.

Repetitive from other works of his, but still good advice using his "system".

It gives me a view ...but couldn't interpret properly

[Sangam Agarwal · Rating 1 out of 5]

complete waste of time and money
there are lots of other strategy that works and people use every day and makes money not explained in this book

[Aditya Kumar · Rating 3 out of 5]

Graphs and Charts proved a better context. But actually, it is better for US Trader instead of Indian trader. Though i loved the book.

[Cesar · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a must read for anyone who wants to become a successful trader, whether novice or seasoned. Risk management is the name of the game and O'Neil insights are priceless.

Must Read.

[Ben Pound · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is dense and not for the feint of heart when it comes to investing. It helps to already know a little bit about finance or investing when you begin to read it and one must have the courage and desire to stick with the material as it is very dense at times. It often requires re-reading for full comprehension, and even then I wouldn't say my comprehension is full by any means.

William J. O'Neil has a track record of wise investing and a system that seems to work if you put in the time and energy to studying the first 100+ pages of nothing but graphs. Other books have been written about this particular investing system which are a great supplement to this dense manual.

It is a great tool for anyone wanting to get more in depth with their knowledge of the stock market and wanting to take control of their investments away from mutual fund managers.

[Bruno de Maremma · Rating 1 out of 5]

A giant infomercial to sign you up to Investors.com, the online version of Investors Business Daily.

Full of gems like 'you must buy at precisely the right time'. Well, duh, who would have thought of that?

Followed of course by charts showing the pattern to look for to trigger a buy order. However if you look through the chart in question you can usually find several more identical setups earlier that went nowhere.

Sorry but I'm not buying it.

[Alex Barrett · Rating 1 out of 5]

The strategy presented is buying stocks after they have formed a base and have broken out to new all time highs in bull markets. There is no evidence to suggest that employing this strategy will make you consistent returns in the stock market. The book makes the strategy seem way easier said than done, and ultimately just builds a case for being long stock. If you are trying to trade or approach the market differently than being long, this book will not help you.

[Gary · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this book based on another’s recommendation and was glad I took the opportunity. This is easy to read and informative, but I would save it for only those that like to gamble in stocks like I do.

Excellent read on investing in US Listed Growth Stocks

[Jayaram Prabhu Durairaj · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the technical chart analysis and authors experience. Also some hard rules were good. But later it becomes an ad for his firm and it was very boring.
